\label{Domain_Create_Users}

Users in a domain with rights to create users can make changes to multiple users by uploading
a file containing comma-separated value data (or similar).  The changes that can be made include
bulk changes to authentication type, or passwords for internally authenticated users, as well as
changing student/employee IDs or assigning domain roles or course roles. The one required column
in the csv (or similar) data file is username.

\begin{enumerate}

\item Select \textbf{Main Menu} and then select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{cprv}
\textbf{Create users or modify the roles and privileges of users}.
\item Select \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{uplusr} \textbf{ Upload a File of Users}
in the ``Multiple Users'' box on the User Management page.
\item Click the \fbox{Choose File} button to locate the file on your machine.

\item The next screen allows you to associate the uploaded spreadsheet's columns
   with the necessary student fields, such as: \textbf{Last Name}, \textbf{First Name},
   etc.  Use the drop-down menus to make an
   association for each of the spreadsheet's columns.

NOTE: If you wish to associate a particular column to more than one field
      (if, for example, you wish to make the students' initial passwords the
      same as their student/employee id), click the \fbox{Reverse
      Association} button.  Then you can assign columns of the spreadsheet to more
      than one field. You can also set the login type, the start/end dates for
   the students from this page.

\item Once you have the column assignments and defaults set, click \fbox{Update Users}

\end{enumerate}
